South Korea’s online game developer Nexon Korea Corp. on Tuesday officially launched the action role-playing game (RPG) Dungeon & Fighter Mobile in the Chinese market.

This comes three months after receiving approval from the Chinese government in February.

Dungeon & Fighter is Nexon's best-selling game with over 850 million registered users worldwide.

The mobile version of Dungeon & Fighter features dot graphics and a side-scrolling combat style. 

Tencent Games, which previously handled the distribution of Dungeon & Fighter in China, is responsible for its local distribution.

Its content related to the famous actor Bruce Lee has been added.

This marks Nexon's second attempt to enter the Chinese market with Dungeon & Fighter Mobile.

The game was initially scheduled for release in August 2020, but it was halted due to regulatory issues by the Chinese authorities.
